If you're on a first date with someone who is more interested in their phone than you, do you get up and leave?

Why would you want to stay ??

I would be looking at the cutest guy in the restaurant, flirt with him and when he invites me over, I would get up and join him and leave the insensitive fool with the phone while I enjoy myself with someone who acknowledges and appreciates my presence.😂

yes i think I would. I don't have time for dates with people who aren't present.

I would pause, then nod and glance at their phone asking them if this was a good time. It gives them the option to end the date if that’s what they were trying to do, or offer an explanation as to why their focus has been on their phone so much. It also brings their attention to what they’re doing so if they want to continue the date, they’ll be less likely to give their phone time over me.

I probably wouldn't get up and leave, but would hurry the date along to get done as quickly as possible

We met for lunch. They had TWO phones going at once. I should have known that was a big problem...

I am not sure. I mean ideally you would want to be the focus point of the date, but sometimes people are on their phones because they're nervous and may have some anxiety. I do it myself sometimes. Once people are comfortable with someone I feel like then that allows for them to be okay with putting the phone down and focusing on your time together. It depends on why they're on their phone for the most part, but sometimes people have their reasons. For example, the may have kids that they're checking in on. .

I might either do that or get busy with my phone or wander off and talk to somebody else. I have done that with family and ex in the past.

I'd order the most expensive items on the menu, lots of them. Then when the food is set on the table I'd text him "Enjoy your meal." then quietly get up and leave.

All depends if we had sex yet 🤪

Depends on context. There are jobs where accessibility in crisis situations is essential -- I lived with a phone or beeper -- pre cellphone days -- growing out of my orifices for 40 years. There are family health situations requiring immediate attention; we're now into the last 20 years of my life as a caregiver. Both are circumstances that should be communicated up front so you can decide whether you want to pursue any kind of date or relationship. If no context has been provided, no satisfactory apology/explanation offered for the interruptions, yeah, it's walking time. Disrespect does not beget respect in return.

If they're paying, I'll stay and enjoy myself, but I probably wouldn't see them again unless there was a good reason for it.

No you just grab their penis that will get their atrention

no, but I would probably cut it short and never talk to them again

And send them a text message that you left

I would first use humour:

"It seems you find someone else more appealing".

In case the lady continues with her phone then it's quite evident that she's not interested in me at all.

Nothing wrong with that. Everyone has a choice.

I'll simply walk away. Why to respect someone when he/she has no respect for you. Simple!🙂

I text them " I am over here"

I wouldn't get up and leave, but I probably would just say, "You seem preoccupied with your phone. What's going on?"

The subsequent conversation might make me want to leave, or we might actually have a good talk.

No, but if they are like that the entire time (and they don't have a close relative in the hospital), then than you very much and have a nice life.

I've been tempted to do that when on a date night with my wife. She can be pretty attached to her phone.

If they pull out their phone in the middle of the date except for an emergency I’d be gone. Classless on a date.

Yes. Leave. He’s probably texting the other girl he’s planning to meet after your date.

Telling everyone in the world they are with you when they are not

Yes. Or toss their phone into the back of a passing truck.

Only reasonable thing to do is to leave

i wouldn't waste time in the first place.

No but I never go out with them again

Fucking oath. Instant deal breaker.

Phone shouldn't even be out. I had a guy who had to answer a call from parents, thought that was ok but he was a dick in the end, I picked roaches off his floor and he dumped me when Covid Happened. I still like him and like his tweets and miss him.

Yeah i text them and say bye bye

I would ask him to put his phone away and remind him that he is on a date with me.I understand that it could be an emergency when he receives a call but other than that his attention should be on me.
If he persists in playing with his phone for no good reason I will tell him he blew it and leave.

There's a possibility of that

YES…You do! Lol! 😜😂

Too right you do

Damn skippy I would

I really would 😭

Probably

Replying to one message is ok. Texting back and forth with someone else while with you in a no-no.
I'd rush the date and ghost the fucker.
That's what I like about ghosting, you leave them clueless!!😁

Absolutely

Absolutely!

Yes!!

I would

I would

Yes

[b]LMHO,[/b] I never had this problem in my dating days darlin. What would I have done? I don't think you want to hear, lol.

?

Unsure.

Never had that.


Then again I refuse to date. Not my chi.

Maybe you should show them something interesting that cannot miss

[center]Lol I'd turn to my phone as well :P [/center]

Yes .

Leave !
